Ahhh Jim Kwik is a fraud in my opinion.

I’d look into Dr. Huberman and Dave Asprey for bio hacking.

Memory and cognition and focus aren’t this woo woo techniques.

It’s all in your biology. What foods you eat. Lifestyle in whether you exercise or not. And if you take Meds you’re severely hindering your potential.

In society there’s this preconceived notion of the dumb jock. That is the opposite of the truth.

Most athletes I know are extremely smart because their biology and active lifestyle enables them to think, focus and perform at a level 3X the normal person.

Diminishing returns on exercise otherwise soccer players would be quantum physicists instead of 3x below normal. Small exercises over day the methods that astronauts use to recover after being in space is more optimal

Good that you are conscious about biolo-

Oh wait . . .

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I very, very much disagree and I find this to be a statement highly ignorant of scientific reasoning, like a spiritual blindfold or perhaps spiritual glasses that have the wrong sphere and do not let you see the whole picture.

Enough said about that . . . I won’t argue. I just wanted to put my disagreement out there. Loud and clear.

“The IQ of an average soccer player is about the same as that of an average person, which stands at 100 .”

[from: Smartest Footballer: A list of soccer players with the highest IQ]

“ELITE SOCCER PLAYERS are smarter than you are, and the sharpest of them score more often than dimmer teammates.”

[from: Elite Soccer Players are Smarter Than You Are - Wired Magazine]

and, finally:

"Gerard Pique-IQ score: 170

For one of the only four players to ever win a UEFA Champions League twice, one would only mistake Gerard Pique for only being a football powerhouse, but according to his father, who spilled the tea to La Vanguardia, this Spanish star had an IQ score of 170."

[from, again: Smartest Footballers]

So, on average, they’re average. And the most intellectually gifted among them? Way above average.

.

In any case, the ‘benefits of exercising’ point is not about IQ. It’s about more efficient information processing. This will generally be applied in those areas prioritized by the person in question. No matter your dispositional IQ, maintaining an active (non-exhausted) life will enable you to perform closer to your personal best.

But, of course, your overall point is accurate. I’m unaware of any natural phenomenon that does not, ultimately, have diminishing returns when applied excessively.

Not ignorant but truth. Modern medications don’t do anything except cause more side effects. Anti depressants usually have the opposite result.

I know this because I’m speaking from experience. And from the experience of a lot of my friends who were on it.

Ex. I’m “Bipolar” so they had me on this medication Intended to “Slow Me Down”. How the medication achieved that? By blocking dopamine in the brain. Literally. Yes it did block the “manic” tendencies… But caused me to be suicidal lol.

Humans are amazing at everything except this field of understanding basic Wellness. Chemistry attempts to solve problems by looking at symptoms rather than cause.

Anyways I could go on and on about this lol but you can continue down your beliefs and see the results it leads you to. And I will continue on with mine. Who’s right? The one with results.

Exactly lol.

When people think smart they don’t equate it to the ability to process information, rather they talk about smart in the context of Technical Frameworks or understanding of certain subjects.

Frameworks are a set of concepts and strategies that are used for application and understanding to those unfamiliar with the term.

IQ tests traditionally favoured those who have understanding of the specific frameworks.

Not really isolating for processing speed which I think is the real “Smart” measurement

Energy and Focus are the 2 things that impact your ability to Process Information and Take Action.

It’s almost universally recognized that Athletes have more energy and focus at their disposal. Not even to mention the countless neuroscience research papers on physical activity and its relationship to Myelin, Brain Plasticity, development of NGF and more.

The project of defining robust intelligence constructs is notoriously complex and context-dependent.

The more universally generalizable a given intelligence construct is often the less practically applicable or useful that construct.

I find it helpful to focus on other questions, usually.

Rather than trying to artificially isolate a ‘pure intelligence’ construct, (for the purposes of…what exactly? Hierarchical assignment?); I prefer to approach more contextually-embedded perspectives. In other words, “How fit or helpful is this particular idea, person, or resource for the situation in which I currently find myself?”

Every person usually has certain situations in which they have something valuable to offer. Just need to identify which situation(s) for which person(s).

The question is tho how much and which type of exercise is the ideal for efficient information processing , since professional athlete regimen is extreme for people whose jobs dont involve much physical activity. Also the impact of playing strategy games(types like starcraft) on overall brain development is interesting.

Agreed.

Your points are both relevant and interesting.

I think about musical stimulation as well. It also seems to play important roles in energizing and shaping the development of our capacities.

And another one that I think is probably also really important: opportunities to interact with living things—especially plants and non-human animals. I haven’t checked specifically recently, but my intuition tells me that should be really important for supporting certain lines of development.

So many…

Dude that’s exactly the structure I created.

I basically broke down learning to chunks.

Frameworks which houses concepts

Concepts which houses Strategies

Strategies which houses Tactics.

Then I extract each chunk to a relevant topic and subtopic.

I’ve set up my digital brain in a way where every idea I input, every piece of media I consume such as books or podcasts comes out with only the gold chunks.

It took me 400 hrs to build it. Lol you’re completely right. It’s extremely cognitively demanding task.

But guess what? I read and summarized and extracted a framework from a 15 page article in 15 mins lol. And I’ve started applying it in my biz.

That’s how powerful it can become. But to summarize, yes bro. I’ve took that into account.

In my opinion playing strategy games is irrelevant to your ability to process. It just makes you better at the game lol.

However, what is relevant is the frameworks you develop and learn when you’re playing those games that make the difference.

I’m not saying train 4 hrs a day lmao. That’s when you’re right the diminishing returns show up. As it eats away at the rest of your energy.

I’d say 1hr or 1hr 30 mins is ideal. I usually end it off with a 20 min sauna session right after.

But it has to be intense.

30 mins with a 10 intensity (=300) is much better than 60 mins with a 3 intensity (=180)

Also time of day matters.

I usually do it in the afternoon as I’m having a caffeine crash. It’s great way to get energy and fight fatigue.

So yes. Every idea, Media (podcast, article, video, tweet), Tool, Document and Frameworks and Concepts Show up. They are contextually relevant in my system because they show up when I’m working on even a tiny single specific task.

that’s the main Reason for why I created it in the first place.

Being able to teach others to think like you and develop them into leaders is the main thing here.

Now I can literally create SOPs. Every Task I did, I can literally retracte back all the steps and explain the small details as well as what my current understanding is.

And I’ve recently started using ChatGPT AI to help me in my workflow.

My system makes me a gold extractor who’s able to take action on any piece of info that crosses my way.

Now ChatGPT scan help aid me get to solutions faster by summarizing content, summarizing books and main ideas and allows me to search for answers to my problems in record speed.

Ex. I’m not getting appointments. Great. Read 5 books on appointment setting. Chapter summaries, then extract frameworks, concepts and tactics. Should take 15 mins. Do it for an hr more. Bam. U have 20 tactics, new concepts and frameworks to apply. You adjust your process. Bam. Problem solved

#98

@Dantes I find your approach interesting. Extremely so.

I used to deep dive into topics. But I don’t enjoy it anymore. Everything seems to be the same. Go through a 40h marketing course and you get 1-2 new points from it. Total waste of time. Kind of burned me out.

Now I have hired a guy who enjoys doing it :stuck_out_tongue:
I only need to understand the basics of what some tool or system is capable of. Then the guy I hired does the deep dive for me.

That being said, I should build something like you have.

Yeah my goal is to just hire an assistant or 2 in the future to take notes full time and consume content and courses.

Idk I guess if that’s the case you should really evaluate and ask what One Thing is gonna push the needle forward.

I’ve always been able to get max value maybe cause I’m still not at a super high level in biz yet. But I find that there are always bottlenecks.

Owners, Founders: Leadership and Personal development

High Level Execs, CEOS: Leadership

Managers: Projects

Marketing especially is a field constantly evolving but I usually find it not really necessary to learn everything.

Just deepening the knowledge on your existing clients and perfecting your process.

Again that’s one of the reasons why I spent last month building it. Cause I know in the future if I was to fire an employee it’s going to be difficult having to go through the tedious process of development again.

My processes weren’t in a way where it allowed them to have instant documents, resources, clear task instructions and it was terribly inefficient because if they asked a question on a task I did one month ago it was a pain having to go through my notes and dig to find it out.

It wouldn’t allow me to develop managers. Let alone onboard

Having a process like mine is crazy man. I’m able to now tap into other niches and services. Because I’m able to create processes for that in a crazy speed.
